Check out the wires and the ignition switch in the steering column. Maybe something is loose, or a wire that was spliced before is now disconnected.
I would turn on the Jeep and leave it idling (leave it in Park), and start wiggling the wires, bumping the ignition key. See if it shuts off.
Also check your ground connections in the engine bay, making sure they are tight and clean. The same for your battery and alternator wires.
It is easy to do and doesn't cost anything.
Good luck.
